The Astoria Conquest (4)

[Amethyst's POV]

Amethyst was standing on the airship's balcony, watching several Achaemenidian Thunderships closing in on them. She jumped and summoned her wings with a deep breath before soaring away from the airship.

'Azhar'Zul wants me to be stronger, and sitting back and letting the others fight won't do,' she thought while clenching her fist in determination. 'I need to grow stronger just like him.'

When the phoenix girl closed in on the enemy craft, she started casting Cosmic Blasts that connected with one of the Thunderships and easily blew its wing apart, causing it to plummet toward the ground below.

She cheered in triumph but had to swiftly dive for cover as the other Thunderships began firing at her. Amethyst maneuvered through the air, weaving and darting in unpredictable patterns that left the enemy cannons unable to track her.

'Too fast for them,' she mused with a big smile.
